Bible Verses:

2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Proverbs 3:5-6

 Forrest Frank, “Your Way’s Better” 

There are many examples in the Bible of people choosing their own way over God’s way. In every situation, there were major consequences of choosing their own way over God's way. 

In Genesis, Adam and Eve’s disobedience led to sin and death. There was short-term and long-term brokenness when Abraham and Sarah tried to have a child their own way. The Israelites' request for a king in 1 Samuel 8 despite God's warnings, brought destruction. In the New Testament, Peter attempted to prevent Jesus from going to the cross. Jesus' response to Peter was, "Get behind Me, Satan."

God's way is always better, even if it is not always comfortable.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul describes his thorn in the flesh and God's response. God did not remove the ailment that Paul had, but Paul trusted God's grace in that difficult situation.

Here is some practical advice for choosing God’s way in your circumstances:

Don’t rush into relationships. Slow down and get to know the other person.

In your career there is a balance between making money and fulfilling God's calling. Use your gifts and talents to not only support yourself financially but to give to God.

Choose forgiveness. It is a key aspect of God's way. Let go of grudges and trust God's way of forgiveness.

Action steps:

Share your own story of how you've learned that God's way is better.

Start a conversation with someone about this topic and discuss how it applies to your lives.

Listen to the song "Your Way’s Better" by Forrest Frank and reflect on the message.
